Description of work
This model for the convenience of beginner needlewomen can be made from individual motives, and combine them after knitting according to the scheme.
Tie the finished product with the "Edge" pattern. It is performed as follows:
- first and second rows: knit double crochet;
- third row: knit three single crochet, 2 stitches, so alternate to the end of the row.
For the front shelf, knit five button loops from the air. P.
In order to connect the motifs, there are two main ways: stitching with a needle after making all the motifs for the pattern (more suitable for square elements) or crocheting during knitting - each subsequent element is “tied” to the previous one on the last row according to the pattern (for round) . Sometimes a special net is knitted for the connection, which collects all the motives together (for elements of different sizes).
